Folks, no need to create divs or use CSS. It is natively available using setGridState:

gridComplete: function ()
  {
    var recs = $('#myGrid').jqGrid('getGridParam', 'reccount');

    if (isNaN(recs) || recs == 0)
    {
      $("#myGrid").jqGrid('setGridState', 'hidden');
    }
    else
    {
      $("#myGrid").jqGrid('setGridState', 'visible');
    }
  }
